A few fans (including us) were worried the striker had picked up another problem though, as he looked uncomfortable while exiting the field on the hour mark.

Thankfully, Klopp has confirmed that it was only the usual bumps and bruises a footballer collects.

The manager may choose to use Christian Benteke instead, or go with Roberto Firmino in the false 9 role, but it would be a big call to drop Sturridge after his midweek performance. Hopefully he’ll start the game and then get a rest next Thursday against FC Sion.
